I really liked this book. One great thing about it is that at the beginning, the book takes time to set up the relationship between Addie and Meryl before the adventure begins. It gets the readers to care about Meryl and feel like they know her even though she isn't in most of the book.

I like how it gets me to want the same thing as the main character. In lots of books, when I get near the ending, I hope for it to be exciting, but in this book, I only wished for
Meryl to be cured.


The only part I didn't like was at the very end when
Addie and Rhys get married. They have known each other for only a few weeks and Addie is TWELVE and Rhys is about SEVENTEEN in human years.
 

But other than that, it is a really good book, and I enjoyed reading it.
